    He went alone and with pick and spade he set to work. He was digging for about five minutes when he felt the spade being dragged from him then he looked around and saw a tall lady in black looking very crossly at him. He got quite shaky and weak and resolved to leave it there. He laid down the spade to put on his coat and found that his arm was so swollen that it would not fit. He lost the use of his arm and died at twenty five.
